This story is part of our Start. Build. Grow. series, a celebration of Black business.
It’s hard to imagine, but a month from now we’ll be looking as summer’s unofficial last weekend. (Sadly, kids in some places are headed back to the classroom this week!) And whether you’re heading to the beach or hanging out by the pool, dope swimwear is a must for summer’s last hurrah. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about a new bathing suit (or two).

Zinae Trunx - Avid Swim
Looking for something a little more than a solid trunk? Try the animal-inspired print of the Zinae Trunx from Avid Swim.
